For that, lean manufacturing aims to reduce the inventory and gain more profits while getting a better quality of the goods delivered to the customers. The aim of this Article i...

We describe Tempest, a platform for assisting web services developers. Tempest allows Java programmers to create services that scale across clusters of computing nodes, adapting automatically as load surges or drops, components fail or recover, and client-generated loads vary. The system automates tasks such as replica placement, update dissemination, consistency checking, and repair when incon...

Quantum Reservoir Computing (QRC) exploits the information processing capabilities of quantum systems to solve non-trivial temporal tasks, improving over their classical counterparts. Recent progress has shown potential QRC exploiting enlarged Hilbert space, but real-time and achievement a advantage with efficient use resources are prominent challenges towards viable experimental realizations. ...

This paper describes the architecture of the FTS real-time executive, which is the framework for IRCAM’s real time applications. FTS includes both classical real-time distributed kernel features and a message-based object system. FTS is a portable and configurable system, which exists now on several platforms which are described.
